Everything in the 70's was male gazey (excessively so, because all the cars were crap, and we had nothing else to get excited about). But the show crossed the gender gap, a lot of girls and women found it empowering, and everyone copied Farrah’s hair.

My electric dream isn’t even old. I want one of these, just for toodling around in the summer.

Boba cheapened himself. He was never anything more than a clown show in a fancy suit. Both the Fetts died like punks.

Maybe it’s broken. I’ve had cars with no AC, but they had AC when they were new. It was an old POS.

George Lucas was such a whore.

Since it rotates due to the air moving over it, it literally is a turbine. Turbo is an acceptable name.

(Unlike the Porsche Taycan Turbo, which is electric and has no turbo.)

It’s very simple. (In his mind, at least)

The Vega might have been a shitshow, but there were some interesting ideas around it - like the Vert-A-Pac rail car system, which allowed GM to ship 30 Vegas for the price of 15-18 normal cars.

Why are 3PO and R2 even in these films? They’ve been completely wasted and pointless. R2 spends the majority of a film under a tarp, and his role in the story could have been replaced by a thumb drive.

Let them go, already.

Coppolla says “I don’t know that anyone gets anything out of seeing the same movie over and over again.” and Scorsese is coming out with yet another gangster film starring deNiro, Pacino and Pesci.

When retro style was all the craze a few years ago, why didn’t VW update the Karmann Ghia? It would have been a surefire Mazda Miata killer.

Satanism IS Judeo-Christian. Here he is arm-wrassling Jesus, straight out of the Bible.

Now, if you changed “gender” for “race”, wouldn’t the same logic apply? I don’t know if same-sex marriage is legal in Virginia (too lazy to look it up), but discrimination is discrimination.

“Including our panel conversation LITERALLY condemning political violence”

If anyone wants weed, come up to Canada. We’ll sell you all you want, and a wheelbarrow to carry it in.

Not everyone, of course. I like the PC (when I first saw one, I wanted it bad), but couldn’t afford it new. I’ve had 15 bikes since then, but I’d still buy  a clean PC if one came available locally.

I’ve torn down/rebuilt many Hondas with more than 45k, and the wear is usually undetectable, except for those few parts intended to wear (cam chain guides, some oil seals, water pump seals). I wouldn’t hesitate at all for a clean bike with 45k, as long as it had good compression.

“benevolent ignorance” is a nice phrase. I had to roll my eyes a bit when the article said “Hell, it even has a cooling fan for its radiator.”

How did he think water-cooling worked? Lot’s of “real” bikes have fans.

There is a third option - it’s called peace-keeping. The U.S. and the U.N. puts pressure on Turkey, Iraq and Syria to set up a Kurdish state (which they deserve). U.N. Peacekeepers take over.

If Zero ever offers a nice looking cruiser style bike, their sales would explode. Why they seem to have fixated on semi-moto or standard bikes is a mystery to me, since cruisers outsell those styles by a wide margin. Use the exact same battery and power train, just style it differently.
